| Cartridge for VPI Classic 3 SE Let me suggest to you the original Shelter 901 not the Shelter 901 II or III. There is a guy on eBay, 2 juki, that has them from time to time for 1,200.00, I have bought 2 from him over the last 5 years and he can be trusted. These are very specia... | |
| Whats a good all around digital cable for under $250. I only need half a meter. Acoustic Zen mc2 should work well and fit your budget provided, actually would have recommended this cable if you had not of mentioned a budget at all. | |
| I'm happy but I want more, more, more If you are just running a turntable as your source, I see no mention of a digital front end, then I would upgrade the phono stage but if you have a digital front end or plan on adding one then the preamp would be my upgrade option. I have always f... | |
| VPI 3D tonearm adjustment Meant: even with this issue. Sorry | |
| VPI 3D tonearm adjustment Lemming, my original 3D arm wand became very warped and was replaced recently with the newer thicker headshell 3D arm. The original arm was twisting and throwing the azimuth off but the major damage to that arm that prompted the replacement came w... | |
| Wilson Sophia 1 vs vandersteen 2ce Sinewave93 the Acoustic Zen Hologram II are the speaker cables that I settled on and the Satorie by Acoustic Zen seem to be a good match also, just remember that the Sophias do not accept bannana pins just spades. | |
| Wilson Sophia 1 vs vandersteen 2ce Well there you go, Stringreen just made it easy, the Sophias really sound good with every amp I tried with them and they really are special. | |
| Wilson Sophia 1 vs vandersteen 2ce Yeah Charles the Canary was a hard one to give up and move on from with the Sophias at 24 watts triode it was a monster, just came to the conclusion I could not live without what el 34 tubes bring to the dance. The Pass Labs XA 30.5 was a real swe... | |
| Wilson Sophia 1 vs vandersteen 2ce I have the Sophia 1s in my system and have had them for 7 years now, everything else has changed several times from really good solid state amps, CJ 2250A, Pass XA30.5 to several different tube amps, the Canary CA306 triode, VTL ST85, Audio Resear... | |
| Shopping for a preamp Don't overlook the Audible Illusions Modulas 3A or 3B, depending on cartridge preference you can go with the all tube phone or the John Curl phono boards if you want to drive lower output moving coils. | |
| Questionable service at Soundsmith My personal experience with Soundsmith has been nothing but stellar and this has been over a period of 7 years and 9 carts rebuilt and or retipped, as a matter of fact they have my Universe as we speak, in for a suspension adjustment. Something ce... | |
| cable and interconnect advice? I have to say that the Acoustic Zen Hologram II that I use with a pair of Wilson Sophias have been nothing but spectacular as well as any of their other cables I use in my system. Point being the first choice should be the Acoustic Zens with the A... | |
| CHINESE tubes? That is a very broad statement, cheap Chinese tubes are just that, cheap and in most cases you get what you pay for but I quit chasing NOS tubes for my all tube system a long time ago, if Psvane makes a premium tube for what ever my need is I buy,... | |
| Need help and advice on a VPI 3D arm The SDS is kind of hard to pigeon hold to what it adds, it is suttle but still an upgrade and does give you the peace of mind that the speed is firm and the power is clean although expensive, in my mind worth it plus it gives you 45 rpm without mo... | |
| Need help and advice on a VPI 3D arm fc911c, bear with me I am waiting on my headphone amp to be shipped from Yamamoto in Japan and I will post my system in it's entirety when that arrives because system will be complete at that point. Also bear in mind that as good as the 10.5 arms ... |
